Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"COUNTRY STRONG is a throwback, a pure, heartfelt exercise in '50s social melodrama....It was shot in a straightforward meat-and-potatoes style, beautifully filmed by John Bailey." - 01/05/2010 Chicago Sun-Times
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "COUNTRY STRONG is a charmer....Hedlund's very casual, almost offhand, in front of a camera." - 01/05/2010 Box Office
"The film works best when the music takes over. Its star sings well and looks lovely..." - 01/07/2010 Wall Street Journal
"COUNTRY STRONG rides pretty high in the saddle, confident in the remarkably realized world Feste has created for her characters." - 01/05/2010 Movieline
"[R]endered with considerable empathy and emotional complexity....Buoyed by an expectedly fine soundtrack and obvious heartland appeal..." - 12/21/2010 Variety
"The corners of this straight-ahead melodrama's love rectangle are briskly drawn out by writer/director Shana Feste....The most affecting scenes in COUNTRY STRONG sublimate passion and filter relationships through song." - 04/01/2011 Sight and Sound
3 stars out of 5 -- "Writer/director Shana Feste does a respectable job of shaping the characters....[Hedlund] brings sizzle and soul to the mic." - 05/01/2011 Total Film
